InkWellness is an organization centered around the principle of healing through creative writing. This contest is intended to get participants thinking about exploring themselves and their feelings through the written word.

This event is an online writing contest where participants can submit pieces that allow them to reflect on their experiences in a creative way.

While this project is open in its form, there are some basic formatting choices you should follow. Entrants can choose from the list which best suits their project:

• Two/One-Sentence Story (50 word max)
• Poem (200 word max)
• Micro-Fiction (500 word max)
• Flash Fiction (1,000 word max)
• Short Story (3,000 word max)

We are keen to encourage quality, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
